One Skillet Lasagna

Lasagna is one of our favorites, but we rarely make it because it’s such a project to have three pots bubbling away on the stove at once. Preparing the meat, tomato and bechamel sauces for traditional lasagna is really where a lot of time and energy go, so we decided to try stream-lining the process. Enter: our 1-Skillet Lasagna. Aside from two bowls used mainly just to keep certain ingredients separate, you’re only cooking with one pan and you end up with delicious, cheesy lasagna and homemade tomato sauce feel free to make extra sauce that you can use and repurpose throughout the week, it’s amazing!

Cheesy Skillet Pasta Bake

If you bake it, they will come, or so it goes in our house when this super simple (but simply amazing) pasta bake is put on the table. We love this for its ease but also for all the cheese – talk about ooey-gooey deliciousness! This is a hearty meal that comes together with just a few ingredients, so dinner is on the table in virtually no time at all. One particular highlight of this dish is its ease of clean up. We know how busy the weeknights are, and the fewer dishes there are in the sink, the sooner we get to wind down from the day’s labors. That’s why pantry staples are key to throwing this dinner together. Get the recipe here!
